1962 Impala SS Real SS * A/C *Disc Brakes Original Tuxedo Black with Red Bucket Seat Interior This 1962 Impala SS was built as a Factory Tuxedo Black exterior car with (875) Red Vinyl SS Bucket Seat interior. Making this car not only an amazing color combination but also collectible with its SS badging. Unlike later years of SS’s, they cannot be decoded by their vin number but rather by their cowl tag. This is a real #875 trimmed car meaning she started life as a real “SS”. The engine code is (TO414S) 327 250hp. Cowl Reads: Style 62-1847 Body SL 40265 Trim 875 Paint 900 CC 12H 1B Highlights:
The last owner had this car for the last 25 years and used to to travel the country to attend car shows. The only reason it is available now, is that he is ready to build his next car. This is the type of ride that your wife can hop in and drive. Easy to handle, starts right up and is a pleasure to cruise. Its 327 250hp engine has a nice rumble that you don't always hear with Impalas. All the gauges work and has an aftermarket radio in the glove box. Drive in comfort with working Heat and Air Conditioning. Really is a pleasure to cruise and even has upgraded front disc brakes. We pride ourselves of actually describing our cars, so you can visualize what you can't always see in a photograph. This is an older restoration but we appreciate it as it sits. It is extremely straight....of the hundreds of Impalas we have seen, this one has to be one the straightest! And that is saying a lot when it comes to Impala quarters. This is a car you can cruise now and enjoy and as time allows you to do your own touches. We considered repainting it and redoing some interior pieces but the more you are around the car its nostalgic feel and it really is in amazing cndition. Take a look at the pictures and ask any questions you may have. I think you will be able to see what an honest car this Impala SS is. 1962 Impala History: The 1962 model featured new "C" pillar styling. The Sport Coupe models now featured the "convertible roof" styling, shared with other GM "B" full size hardtop coupes. This style proved extremely popular, and contributed to the desirability of the '62–'64 Impalas as collectibles. Impalas again featured premium interior appointments, plusher seats, and more chrome trim outside, including a full-width aluminum-and-chrome panel to house the triple-unit taillight assembly. Super Sport (SS) models featured that panel in a special engine-turned aluminum, which was also used to fill the side moldings, making the SS more distinctive in appearance. Paint/Exterior: Original Tuxedo Black car that has been repainted about 20 years ago with a quality paint job. Although, since it has been so long there is some checking on the roof some places where the paint has thinned and of course some rock chips. But, since it was a quality paint job it has a vintage feel unlike a ‘bad or cheap” paint job that has overspray and just looks terrible. There are two spots photographed that have small rust bubbles. The underside of the car is in extremely solid and original condition without any rust repairs or problems. You will be impressed with her metal. Bumpers are in great shape and so is all the trim and emblems. It does need its window felts replaced they have basically disintegrated from time. Window trim and side trim, grill and accents all do look really good. The drivers wind-wing glass does have a crack in it. Interior: Original Red Vinyl SS Bucket Seat Interior that was redone some time ago. Drivers seat does have a few tears but the rest has held up amazingly well. The carpet shows just a little wear. The dash, headliner, sill plates and back seat are all amazingly nice. Take a look at the pictures it really does look good. Engine/Trans: Powered by a strong running 327 250hp V8 engine that really sounds great. (Engine Code TO414S). She can sit for weeks and will still start right up with out the need of a trickle charger on her. She has quite a rumble for an impala that will impress fans of muscle cars and hot rods. She is shifted by a power-glide that makes her drive extremely easy and reliable. I wouldn't be afraid to drive this car anywhere!! She does't get hot and again, this is a easy to drive and no-nonsense classic cruiser ...harder to find then you would initially think. Wheels/Tires: Very cool looking Authentic Vintage American Racing Wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich Radial T/A’s that still have quite a bit of tread on them.

GM drops diesel engines for 2020 Chevy Equinox and GMC Terrain crossovers
Fri, Jul 12 2019GM is officially discontinuing the diesel engine in the Chevy Equinox and GMC Terrain for the 2020 model year. The 1.6-liter turbodiesel was always an oddball of an engine in the compact crossover segment, and now the experiment has come to an end. The Car Connection initially reported the news, and a GMC spokesperson, Stuart Fowle, confirmed it to us this morning. “A huge majority of our Terrain customers have opted for one of our two gas engines," says Fowle. We canÂ’t say this eventuality comes as a massive surprise, as we saw news from couple of months ago that GM was dropping all-wheel drive from the diesel-powered cars for 2020. Low demand was cited as the reason for that cull, and itÂ’s the same for the little GM crossovers this time around, too. These vehicles were the only ones powered with a diesel engine in their class, but thatÂ’s going to be changing. Just as GM is going away from the diesel, Mazda is finally bringing its diesel to market in the CX-5. YouÂ’ll only be able to get that engine in the most expensive ($42,045) trim level, combined with all-wheel drive, though. The cheapest Equinox diesel starts at a comparably low $30,795. ThatÂ’s a $2,400 upcharge over the base 1.5-liter turbo four-cylinder, and the value is questionable. Mileage is better, but diesel fuel is more expensive. Towing capability didnÂ’t increase over the base engineÂ’s 1,500-pound capacity, but the extra torque around town was nice. As diesels go in the U.S., this one was rather rough and noisy, possibly contributing to some turning their noses up after a test drive. Perhaps another reason for its demise was that the much quicker 2.0-liter turbo Equinox was only $100 more than the diesel. This engine offered significantly better towing at 3,500 pounds, too. You can read all about what we thought of the diesel in our first drive review here, but the 2019 model year is the last one if you had it on your shortlist. This article has been updated to indicate the source.
GM exploring ways to raise half-ton Duramax diesel tow rating
Sun, Nov 3 2019Lots of truck owners cheered when GM announced fuel economy numbers for the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado with the 3.0-liter Duramax diesel inline-six. Even after Ram let loose its EPA mileage ratings for the 2020 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel, the Chevy oil-burner still took the trophy. The victory was years in the making, GM engineers spending an entire four-year development cycle refining the LM2 Duramax to increase mileage. The tradeoff, as well all know by now, is towing; the Duramax in half-ton duty pulls a maximum 9,300 pounds in the Silverado. Rivals across town can do more, the Ford F-150 PowerStroke rated at 11,500, the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel game to pull 12,560. GM engineer John Barta told Muscle Cars & Trucks that more hauling chops could be on the way, explaining, "We’re actually looking at upgrading some of the materials around (the engine bay) to see if we can maybe raise our tow rating." Engine bay materials are at issue due to thermal complexities underhood. John Barta, GM's assistant chief engineer of diesel engine controls, said the Duramax's inline-six configuration allowed engineers to get emissions hardware like the combined selective catalytic reduction, diesel oxidation catalysts, and diesel particulate filter unit closer to the engine, where it heats up quicker, getting emissions down quicker. But that filter puts another heat source in those confines, enforcing a cap on the tow rating to keep the engine and other systems from overheating. "If you look under the hood," he said, "youÂ’ll see a significant amount of silver ‘moon tapeÂ’ around to make sure things arenÂ’t getting overheatedÂ… if we were to go up in higher towing, which we can, we start impacting the possibility of deteriorating some of the components.” There isn't much space for more grille, so swapping for a better grade of "moon tape" or a different kind of material could reduce engine bay heat, extracting a higher tow rating in the process. It's important to note a point Barta's been making for months about the Duramax figures, though. "Even though itÂ’s nice to brag about big numbers, in reality, light duty customers are not towing that large with their trucks," and, "We do know that (95 percent) of our light duty customers donÂ’t tow over 9,000 pounds." On our First Drive of the 2020 Silverado diesel we called out the tow rating, but emphasized that the Chevy and GMC have more important challenges to overcome.
Watch the live reveal of the 2014 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra [UPDATE]
Thu, 13 Dec 2012UPDATE: The trucks have been revealed. Click here for all of the official details.
As promised, Chevrolet and GMC are offering a live webcast of the world premiere for the all-new 2014 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500. After being teased with spy shots and blurry images like the one above for ages, now is the time to see the trucks in the metal, for real (well, as 'real' as it gets on a webcast, at any rate).
Shift your eyes down just below to see the reveal as it happens, starting at 9:30 AM EST. We anticipate having loads of images full technical information to share after the webcast, too, so truck aficionados should stay tuned. We'll also be bringing you live images of both trucks too, when we see them on the show floor at next month's Detroit Auto Show.
